Canadian Electric Code on ATS for life safety systems
Canadian Electric Code on ATS for life safety systems
(OP)
Hello,
I wanted to inquire if there was any specific Canadian Electric Code that requires installation of two separate Automatic Transfer Switches i.e. one for life safety systems such as fire fighter elevator, fire pumps etc and one for egress utility loads. I checked section 46 of CEC and there is mention of feeder cables but nothing on requirement of separate ATS.
Thank you.

The building involved is 4 storey residential building. A 60KW natural gas generator set is being considered as emergency generator because life safety system loads such as fire pumps, fire fighter elevator loads are being considered to be taken on along with fire alarm system and emergency lighting equipment. I was trying to find relevant CEC standards to provide guidance whether to incorporate 2 ATS or one.

It's in section 46 of the CEC. Here are a couple of useful links.
